Not taking away from the police brutality happening in amerikkka but I see a lot of Polys talking about how they’re allies & not racist and fully support the movement, & that’s great ! But where is that energy for West Papua, if we’re gonna start somewhere look in our backyard

This is only 11 of 120 confirmed (many deaths are unconfirmed as they’re dumped cover ups) injuries and deaths at the hands of the Indonesian govt & army most of these stories are not being televised or recorded, they’re silencing our Melanesian family what are we doing ?

U show your ignorance on race relations when you don’t realise our own people are getting killed, Indonesian militia have been going into the highlands (AROUND VILLAGES) and shoot people regardless if they’re the resistance, they dehumanise them to Monkeys and it’s still happenin

Here are Papuan people in a more cultural light to help some people relate to this and what it means for the pacific they’re our people too #freewestpapua
